Hello,
This series implements reentrancy for the common clk implementation of the clk.h api. Making reentrant calls into the clock framework is both necessary and desirable for many use cases such as enabling off-chip clocks via i2c. The first patch in the series implements this.
A neat side effect of reentrancy is that it is possible for platforms using voltage regulators controlled via i2c to register rate-change notifier handlers to scale voltage as a function of clock rate. This is an effective way to implement dynamic voltage & frequency scaling. Patch #2 implements a helper function for registering such a notifier handler.
The third patch in the series demonstrates dvfs on OMAP platforms by modifying the cpufreq-omap driver; it migrates the voltage scaling logic out of the cpufreq driver's .target callback and registers callbacks via the helper introduced in patch #2.
Patches four and five are purely test coverage. And what better way to test than to muck with fragile PLL programming code? These patches test out a lot of the aforementioned reentrancy in the OMAP3+ DPLL code. They are not for merging, but as a demonstration of what is now possible.
Finally, I know that Documentation/clk.txt needs an update for these changes but I wanted this on the list before I flew out to LCA 2013. I'll provide that update during or after the conference.
